Showtime! If I say “Welcome to Embedded World 2019”, that’s meant to cover more than the crowded and noisy halls of the Nürnberg Messe between 25 and 28 February — I am also welcoming you to the platform called Elektor Industry, of which this magazine is just a part, and the first of three printed editions for the year 2919. All three are linked to an electronics trade show in Germany, and the line-up for 2019 is: (1) Embedded World, (2) Sensor + Test, and (3) Productronica. In between, we’re active with online articles, news feeds, and social media, from www.elektormagazine.com basecamp.
